Each player deal out their own [[Deck (cards)|deck]] by [[shuffling]] their cards and place ten cards face up on the table to form a "Stack." The cards on the Stack are face-up, with the numbers visible to the players. Additionally, three cards (four cards in a three-player game, five cards in a two-player game) are displayed face up next to this stack; these constitute the "Row", whose numbers are also visible to players. The remaining cards are held in each player's hand.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=How to play Ligretto {{!}} Official Rules {{!}} UltraBoardGames |url=https://www.ultraboardgames.com/ligretto/game-rules.php |access-date=2023-08-28 |website=www.ultraboardgames.com}}</ref>

The game initiates when a player exclaims "Ligretto!" Then, players simultaneously discard cards onto the central table area. A legal card is any that is next card in numerical order and in the same color as the one currently in any pile, or a '1' card. New piles can only be initiated when a player acquires and plays a '1' card. A '1' card must be played from either the player's row or their hand. A pile is complete when the '10' card is played on top, after which no cards can be played on that pile.
